This paper cutter is a replacement of my broken Trimair by Westcott. I thought it was step up.. but seems to be challenged to cut a straight line. I like the perforated and scalloped edge options but since straight lines is what's used and needed most often, I'm a bit disappointed.

We have had this cutter for more than 4 years. Only now is the straight blade getting a little dull. I never try to cut more than 5 pages at a time - fewer if using card stock. That only makes sense as holding down multiple pages gets harder the more there are, so I have never tried to cut 10 sheets at once. I LIKE that I have to press the blade down because I know it is engaging and working. I always hold down my work with my left hand and do not release my hand until I remove the cut portion and make sure it is cut. That way if it has not cut all the way through I can simply run the blade backwards up the trimmer edge. This has only happened a few times. I use the printed inch guidelines almost every cut. They are invaluable for knowing where to position paper to cut a sheet exactly in half or quarters. I find the scoring, perforating and wavy blades work as promised and I do use them often. I really like that the blades change with just a quick turn of the cartridge and I don't have to handle the blades and switch them in and out. I think this was a good value for our money four years ago, but I cannot speak for ones currently being manufactured. Am considering buying another one for increased production of projects so someone can be working with me.

I have a home-based design and desktop publishing business. I create many designs. I use lots of paper. This little product helps make my designs and finished product look like factory work.Clean sharp edges, even decorative edges. I love it. It is so lightweight that I put it next to me on top of my desk drawer and cut right there. I take it with me and sit out side to cut designs. Thank you this is very very nice.Only one con: I did not receive the color that I thought I was getting. I wanted the pink one.
